All, For the most complete history of the Paramount go to http://www.waterfordbikes.com and get into the Velorotica section. Richard Schwinn has compiled a very complete history of the Paramount Bicycle including a most complete listing of serial numbers used through the years. I have used this site more than once. The serial number on the paramount recently queried in the mailings was "975" and that was the last of the 1959 number series used before going to an Alphanumeric scheme.
